see if you can find the artist here they will have japanese english translations a lot of the time ... http://centigrade.blandplanet.com/

just go up to the japnese kanji up at the top and see what you can find.

In episode one of Love Generation, where Riko is singing karaoke with Teppei in the hotel (they just met ), (about 4:30 seconds from the start of the episode), the song is "About the Beach, Etc" by Puffy, and the lyrics she sings go like below. Please correct me where I mess up:

Mizugi de furu supi-do
[lit: swimsuit in full speed]
(in a full speed swimsuit)

Matsubara dewa sugu rikyu-ru
[lit: pine-grove(?) as for soon/near villa(?)]
(in a pine grove near the villa)

Kani tabe ikou
[lit: crab eat go]
(let's go eat crab!)

Also, for big bonus points, she changes the lyrics of the last line to something like: Kani kutte ikou, but I don't really know. Can you tell me?

Muchas Gracias.

The full lyrics are here, if you are curious:

That might be "full speed in a swimsuit", like "I'm going at full speed, in a swimsuit" or something like that, just as an example. Not sure...it seems like a weird line to me. Either that or the actually are talking about a full "Speedo", LOL!!!

Thanks KouSeiya ... I sort of thought that too. It looks like the song is kind of silly, so the lyrics probably don't make a whole lot of sense to begin wth.
And I could only find the romaji, it might be a little clearer in Kanji ... but I'm too stupid to be able to use a Japanese search engine yet.

So you think rikyu-ru is villa? That's the closest thing I could find in edictj. Matsubara could be a personal name. "Matsubara approaches the villa"?

Beats me.

I think the word change she did was to sing the chorus that appears later "Hani kitte ikou", but she sounds like she's saying "Hani kutte ikou".

Yeah, this song kinda looks like it's silly, especially with the random English words (common though).

Rikyu-ru doesn't seem like it would be villa. Just "rikyuu" would be. I don't know where that "ru" comes from, unless it's "liquor" or "liqueur". I'm positive that "matsubara" is pine grove (quite literally). Maybe they're talking about getting drunk in a pine grove

It's really hard to do songs once they are romanized, at least they are for me. I usually need the kanji because then all the homonyms (sorta) come up. As for the "hani" line, I have NO clue. I'm not even familiar with the word "hani" or anything with "hani" at the beginning....sorry, I suck

Maybe it is....

Mizugi de Full Speed = �����Ł@�t���X�s�[�h
�@�� Full Speed in Swimwear.

Matubara dewa Sugu Liqueur = �����ł́@�������L���[��
�@�� In pine grove, (we) drink liqueur instantly.

Kani Tabe Ikou = �J�j�H�׍s����
�@�� Let's go eat crab.

(Original)
Hanikannde Ikou = �͂ɂ���ōs����
�@�� Let's be bashful

(Parody)
Kani Kutte Ikou = �J�j�H��������
�@�� Let's eat crab. (*)

(*)
Kutte Ikou has a nuance of "Let's eat before leaving. " So it means "Let's eat crab before leaving" in strictly speaking.

I had not watched the drama, had she probably got drunk?

thanks alot for the sites. I've been looking for stuff like this too for quite some time

If anybody is still looking for good websites for Japanese music lyrics, you can try HERE

Not the best, but it has the Japanese written version along with the Romaji.

I try to find song lyrics, better with Roman spelling because some words don't know how to read. Surfed some website are vain!

Like Utara Hikaru, I can find "Can you Keep a Secret" in here but it's hard to find "Wait & see~"!

I think you are complicating things...Keep it simple and general, like the artist and "lyrics"...Enough english speaking fans for a lot of Japanese music these days to make it more or less available, I think...
I found romanized lyrics to Wait and See in about 2 sec by just typing in "utada lyrics"

Anyways, here's what I found....

Here is "Wait and See" in romanji...


Utada Hikaru - Wait and See~RISUKU~

Datte"Tsumazuki nagara"tte
Kuchi de iu hodo, raku jya nai hazu desho
Matte mou sukoshi wakattekuretara kitto
Motto ii ame ga furu kara

Katte sou yobarechatte
Tokidoki kodoku kanjite mo daijoubu
Futari de dashita kotae ni Norikonde
Kumori sora wo oinuku kara

Mawaranai TAIYA ga me no mae ni naranderu kedo
Accel tou mazu ni iru no wa dare darou ne Mujunya

Oh baby wait and see tama ni wa itasa mo ii yo ne
RISUKU ga aru kala koso shinjiru koto ni imi ga aru no sa
Mayowanai nante muri

Oh baby can't you see matsu no wa tokui ja nai kedo
Kimetsukeru no wa hayasugirun da uranai nante
Shinjitari shinaide

Aijou mukatte hidari ni ketsubou
Dakara kimi ga hitsuyou
Tsumetai taido de jibun wo mamotteru tsumori na no?

Kaerarenai mono wo ukeireru chikara
soshite ukeirerarenai mono wo Kaeru chikara wo choudai yo

Oh baby wait and see Yappa itai no wa IYA dakedo
RISUKU ga aru kara koso tatakau hodo ni tsuyoku naru no sa
Osorenai nante muri

Oh baby can't u see Matsu no wa tokui ja nai kedo
Kimetsukeru no wa hayasugirun da uranai nante
Shinjitari shinaide

So baby wait and see iyasenai kizu nante nai
RISUKU ga aru kara koso ai suru hodo ni setsunai no ka na
Sonna wake nai yo ne

Doko ka tooku e nigetara raku ni naru no kana
Sonna wake nai yo ne doko ni itatte watash iwa
Watas hinan dakara

KI-ga takasugiru nara sagete mo ii yo
Uta wa kawaranai tsuyosa motteru
Nayami nante hitotsu no tsuukate
Ookisugiru BURESURETTO no you ni sururi

Don't believe until you see all there is to see...

JINGURU BERU
(Jingle Bells)

Yuki o keri, noyama o koete, suberiyuku karui sori.
Utagoe mo takaraka ni.
Kokoro mo isamu yo. Sori no asobi.
Jinguru beru. Jinguru beru. Suzu ga naru.
Kyoo mo tanoshii sori no asobi. O!
Jinguru beru. Jinguru beru. Suzu ga naru.
Saa, ikoo yo! Sori no asobi.
